Keep your neck comfortable with this Travel Pillow! The free crochet pattern by Ashlea Schumaker lets you create a functional accessory for every traveler. Whether you’re taking long trips by bus, train, or plane, this uniquely shaped pillow will wrap around your neck snugly for extra support. Check out how to make it in a few simple steps.
What Do I Need To Make The Travel Pillow?
To make this crochet travel pillow, you will need worsted yarn, a 3.25 mm hook, and a large handful of fiberfill for stuffing. If you don’t have polyfill, an old pillow stuffing would work great too.
The sample in the photos was made with Red Heart Amore Polyester, but unfortunately, it is no longer available. Instead, you can use any medium-weight yarn – acrylic, polyester, or cotton.
What Crochet Stitches Should I Know?
The pattern is worked in joined rounds and uses double crochets. First, you will start with a magic ring and then increase stitches throughout several rounds to build the width.
Once you’ve achieved the desired circumference, continue crocheting in the round until you reach the other end of the pillow and begin decreasing the number of stitches. Now you can finish your project by adding stuffing and creating a small travel strap.
How Long Does It Take To Complete The Travel Pillow?
This crochet travel pillow is a quick project, but the time required will depend on your skill level. Those with crocheting experience who know how to work stitches in rounds can finish it in a day, while it may take beginners a bit longer.
